ROCKFORD KINDERCARE REVIEWS

This particular KinderCare has been amazing for our son. He had been struggling at Home Based daycares, and the structure, attention, and professional teachers have really helped him out, far exceeding our expectations. All the teachers have been wonderful, but especially Ms. Jordan who I feel has really taken the extra effort to help our energetic and curious 5-year old. She has been the best day care provider/teacher we have had yet. Our son entered this KinderCare dreading Day Care, but now loves it and has learned so much before entering the public schools. He knows the alphabet, can spell his first and last name, can count to 90 (with help on 4 numbers), and has learned a lot on various topics. He is about to enter Kindergarten, and has such an amazing grasp on the subject matter already. We were debating switching him to the public school's after-school daycare, which was cheaper than KinderCare, but have decided to keep him at KinderCare during the school year as well simply because this KinderCare is amazing. Thank you KinderCare! And Thank you Ms. Jordan.

We have been so thankful for Kindercare!! Everyone is so kind and overall I have had a very positive experience. We love the ladies in Infant A and now that my baby has graduated to Infant B, I'm looking forward to getting to know the ladies in that class as well! I love the environment when we walk in and everyone knows my baby by name! I highly recommend this Kindercare if you are looking for a trusted daycare for your kiddos.

An outstanding center! Clean and organized. The best thing about this place is the staff. Amazing people, they do an incredible job with the kids.
